Patent attributes
Solid-state imaging devices, electronic apparatuses, and methods of forming image sensors are provided. A solid-state imaging device or an electronic apparatus incorporating a solid-state imaging device can include a substrate and at least a first photoelectric conversion element formed in the substrate. In addition, a region with a low dielectric constant is formed. The region can include a locally thin region formed in the substrate. An insulating film is at the first side of the substrate. Where the region includes a locally thin region, the interlayer insulating film can extend into that locally thin region. A first electrode is at a side of the interlayer insulating film opposite the substrate. The device further includes a second electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer at least partially between the first electrode and the second electrode.
